find_program() is looking in C:, but not its subdirectories. So, unless
arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe is located directly in C:, CMake won't find it.

As a side note, GCC isn't typically found with find_program(). You most
likely want to write a cross-compiling toolchain file which contains
this location instead. See below for details:
