That's not likely to be trivial either is it?
Fedora Core 3 should ship with gcc 3.4.2 and gcc 4.0, so installing the gcc34 rpm should suffice. Make sure you use gcc version 3.4.2, and NOT 4.0, as 4.0 is known to be broken when compiling ClamAV. Also bzip2 is likely an exploitable version, you should install 1.0.5.
