That was from 2010. And the context was:

=========================
Update beamer. Or put 

\makeatletter\let\ifGm@compatii\relax\makeatother 

before \documentclass.
=========================

So it should be clear that with a current beamer it should no longer
be necessary. Such measures are sometimes needed for a short time
until some update has reached the user. But after 6 years you should
move them to the bin. 

Actually you should never rely on such old code without have checked
quite carefully if the context for which the code was written is
still valid.
