While memtest86 is useful for finding bad cells, it is cannot find
memory timing issues.  I have no experience with Prime95, but it seems
like it would mostly stress the CPU and cache, without a lot of random
memory access like a compiler does.

I suggest http://people.redhat.com/dledford/memtest.html.  You might
have to make some slight edits for it to run on Gentoo.
