Are you sure it was -i, and not something else?  Pasting an actual command
line of what you had to use might be helpful.

I'm guessing that you modified the installed copy of erlang.m4, rather
than modifying the source file and reinstalling everything.  Yes, autoconf
favors the frozen files (extension .m4f) that were created at the time it
was installed, if those exist, even if they are older than the .m4 source
files.  However, since they are just cache files, you should be able to
safely delete them (at which point, it will use your modifed .m4 file
instead), instead of reinstalling autoconf.
