That worked great -- thanks. While unnecessary, I appreciate you taking the time to point out how easy it is to build memtest, because I had problems (and it suggested to me that this is uncommon/there is an easy fix).
Building memtest on an x64 system didn't work, because there is an assumption that /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h is present. Move to a 32-bit machine, problem solved. Also, I suggest that maybe you post a note about this more conspicuously. I spent quite a while googling "ipxe memtest", as well as more refined searches, before asking.
