The easiest way is to install CentOS 5 (or Scientific Linux).  It comes
with 

gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)

It sounds like whoever is specifying the compiler is expecting a RHEL 5
or compatible system.  RHEL is still supported and receiving regular
patches.  Since you are running an EOL FC4, I'm guessing that paid
support is not important to you, so look at the free rebuilds.

As you may have gathered from the other followups, updating the RPMS
piecemeal or rebuilding GCC is not for the faint-hearted.
