Sorry, I do not see why you would want to do this. I understand "make prefix=~" or "make prefix=$HOME", but "make prefix='~'" and expanding tilde and friends at runtime you need to justify why it helps in which situation.

We are not DOS and do not do argument expansion shell should have done for us ourselves.
