Diffrences in a.out/ELF?

I was compiling under a.out... then my linux partition got screwed up, so I
decided to just nuke it and upgrade, using ELF binaries instead.

Well now my mud id crashing on an IOT trap that never happened before, and
that's ok, I could gdb it to find the problem... BUT, gdb says this:

Couldn't fetch registers from core file: File in wrong format

Gdb worked fine beforehand... is there something I need to to to allow it to
use ELF binaries? WHat did I do wrong here?
