Indeed. This one was improperly defined : smodsi(-1, x) had no meaning for
x a large t_INT [ since the result |x| - 1 could not be represented as a C
long integer ]

It is superseded by the (mostly useless) routines umodui(ulong, GEN) or
modsi(long, GEN), which are always defined.

I have updated COMPAT.
