Builded AMD64 errata for RC1 are in my repository:

http://ftp.pslib.cz/pub/users/Milan.Kerslager/RHEL-3/testing.updates/

The fact is that I have no building machine at this time so I don't have
latest errata builded (because HW is broken and is in the middle of a
claim).

This is not so great so I suggest you to use Tao Linux (similar project
like WhiteBox). There are AMD64 and s390 port ready (from the same
person [Pasi Pirhonen] who builded RC1 on top of Whitebox) and they have
updates ready:
