LPCXpresso does not use 'arm-none-eabi-as.exe'

I just installed the latest LPCXpresso and tried to compile the freertos_blinky example from the LPC812 package...
To my astonishment The IDE wants to use the as.exe from my minGW64 installation!
Why would the IDE think that this is OK?! It makes no sense to use minGW! The IDE should not even know that minGW exists!

Here is the console output when I build the project:

make -r all

Can someone please tell me how to tell LPCXpresso to NOT use MinGW?

OK, found it...

Go to [Window]->[Preferences]->{C/C++}->{Build}->{Environment}
There is a list of Systemvariables that can be overwritten. Remove the MinGW path from the PATH variable and replace it with the LPC tool path.

Now it works...
