The diff appears to have failed because of an assumption of how paths are
resolved during compilation. The assumption is that files remain partially
qualified, which is not the case in all C compilers. This is c99. My
experience with gcc is that it qualifies names differently than other
compilers. It might be useful to pipe to sed to strip ${HOME}/ when building
the actual file, something like:

sed -i "1,\$s/${HOME}\//g" actual    # Not that that will actually work
because sed will process /. A different delimiter would work.
