Interesting - both stubs-32.h and stubs-64.h are part of the same glibc-devel 
RPM for me.

It's documented on the error-specific page at

  http://ipxe.org/46038101

which should be the first place that anyone hitting this problem will look, as 
per your original error report:

  http://192.168.0.1/boot/memtest4.20.bin... ok
  Could not execute memtest: Requested memory not
  available (http://ipxe.org/46038101)
