Should read 2.96-85 or later. (web site fixed)

Yes, it is absolutely necessary.
RedHat 7.1 was shipped with known buggy compiler too.
I do not know how it affected reiserfs, but it miscompiled at least
symbios scsi controller driver. And you do not want to risk if your
code would be miscompiled or not, do you?
