It might have been expanded, it might have not been expanded. Having a
shell script:
| #!/bin/sh
| 
| exec make O=~/scratch/mk-check defconfig

with bin/sh = dash results in:

| make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bigeasy/linux/~/scratch/mk-check'

while bin/sh = bash expands the ~ properly before for O=. Would it be
too much to ask, to expand the ~?
