Change the memory for known good memory, and the kernel compiled fine. No idea what Gcc does that memory test programs fail to account for.
Have you come across the memory smashing exploit? I can't remember much about it, but if you can hammer memory in your own VM, you can actually corrupt memory in the next door VM. Even worse, you can control the corruption with the intent of hacking into the VM!
I'm pretty certain there are proofs of concept out there. So I guess gcc might be doing exactly that by accident to cheap memory (my RAM is the "value" brand - paid about £13 per 4GB stick). When I think back the first memory I ever bought was £50 for a 32*M*B stick :-)
