This depends on what shell you are using.


If you use a modern shell like bash,
~ is expanded into the home directory path
on the shell side.

So, Make will see the absolute path.
In contrast, dash does not expand ~.


[Test code]
$(warning CROSS_COMPILE is $(CROSS_COMPILE))
all:
@:



[Result]
masahiro@grover:/tmp$ bash
masahiro@grover:/tmp$ make
CROSS_COMPILE=~/x86_64_gcc9.2.0_glibc2.31.0/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-
all
Makefile:1: CROSS_COMPILE is
/home/masahiro/x86_64_gcc9.2.0_glibc2.31.0/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-
masahiro@grover:/tmp$ dash
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=~/x86_64_gcc9.2.0_glibc2.31.0/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu- all
Makefile:1: CROSS_COMPILE is
~/x86_64_gcc9.2.0_glibc2.31.0/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-





Moreover, your patch does not work at all because
the $(realpath ) built-in function does not expand ~.

~ is a shell's special character (and only some shells recognize it).
GNU Make is completely agnostic about such a character.



If you are using such a shell that does not understand ~,
as Nathan suggested, you can use $HOME.
