It certainly may be easier to run an older version of Samba than the very newest code, on such an old platform.

What features of Samba 4.0 do you need on such an old host?  You really should upgrade the host, and not just the Samba installation.

We strive to keep Samba running on really old systems, but there are limits.  You will however need to work those out yourself by trial and error, as the packages at http://www.enterprisesamba.org/samba-packages/red-hats-rhel/ do not stretch back to RHEL 3.8.

As RHEL 3.8 will not have a current python, you may need to either use the install_with_python.sh script, or try the autoconf build in source3/.
