Thanks.  Below is what I pushed.

commit 1845e254645efbc02248345ccdb557d265dd8ae1

    gdb/guile: perform tilde expansion when sourcing guile scripts
    
    Before this patch:
    
      (gdb) source ~/script.scm
      ERROR: In procedure apply-smob/1:
      ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: Unable to find file "~/script.scm" in load path
      Error while executing Scheme code.
      (gdb)
    
    This is because the path is not tilde expanded.  In contrast, when
    sourcing a .py or .gdb script the path is tilde expanded.
    
    This commit fixes this oversight, and allows the above source command
    to work as expected.
    
    The tilde expansion is done in the generic GDB code before we call the
    sourcer function for any particular extension language.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    
            * cli/cli-cmds.c: Add 'gdbsupport/gdb_tilde_expand.h'
            include.
            (source_script_with_search): Perform tilde expansion.
    
    gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
    
            * gdb.guile/guile.exp: Add an extra test.
