Our system headers are not set up properly, so I have several local
versions of headers in an include directory $HOME/include.  Depending
on how I specify the include path, gcc will use either my locally
defined headers or the system headers in /usr/include.

        gcc -I~/include  ...      includes "*.h" files from /usr/include

        gcc -Ifull-pathname ...   includes "*.h" files from ~/include

"~" is only expanded by the shell if it is the first character of a
word.  It has nothing to do with gcc.  Replace "gcc" with "echo" in
the commands above for an illustration.
