Comment:

 The problem is that in a recent version of MacPorts base some default
 autoreconf args moved from `autoreconf.pre_args` to `autoreconf.args`.
 This port runs autoreconf and requires the `-i` argument, and expected
 MacPorts to set it in `autoreconf.pre_args`, but now MacPorts sets it in
 `autoreconf.args`. This port overrides `autoreconf.args`, so `-i` wasn't
 being set anymore.
