[2.1.128/AXP] coredumps - is it the kernel?

Hello,

I am seeing this problem when I try to debug coredumps on my system
(2.1.128/AXP):

Core was generated by `./a.out'.
Couldn't fetch registers from core file: File in wrong format
Couldn't fetch register set 2 from core file: File in wrong format
Reading symbols from /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/libm.so.6.1...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/libc.so.6.1...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.2...done.
Couldn't fetch registers from core file: File in wrong format
Couldn't fetch register set 2 from core file: File in wrong format
#0 0x0 in ?? ()

I've tried the gdb from RedHat-5.1 and 5.2 (4.17.0.4), and I've tried
recompiling with two different versions of egcs. I'm using
binutils-2.9.1.0.15, from RedHat-5.2. This happens for C and C++ code
alike. I do not have this problem on 2.0.34/AXP (but with older binutils).
Is this possibly a kernel problem, or perhaps I need to upgrade some of my
tools?
