Whenever you compile a .erl file you are compiling the
contents of any .hrl files it includes.

If you mean something like "precompiled headers" from C
land, the reason for that is that your typical C source
file is 100 lines of code #including 20,000 lines of
system headers.  Erlang isn't _that_ bad, so there would
be far less benefit from preprocessing .hrl files.
