You're right, $(cat should be preferred to $(<

While speaking about that...
I have always been annoyed to not see the full expanded command line when 
compiling the MiNTLib. It can be achieved by using the $(shell function of make.

So instead of using:
	-I$$(<$(top_srcdir)/includepath)
use:
	-I$(shell cat $(top_srcdir)/includepath)

Pros:
- Full commandline is expanded by make while compiling each file. It is 
easier to understand what happens.

Cons:
- The command line for each C file is longer (personnally, I dont't care).
- The $(shell function may not be compatible with "make" programs other than 
GNU make (not sure of this, and other parts of the MiNTLib Makefile may be 
specific to GNU make, too).
