In theory, Linux can dump cores for a.out binaries. In practice, that

I was asking myself the same question while doing

  10970e1b4be9 ("x86/a.out: Clear the dump structure initially")

especially since it is kinda hard to get the toolchain to even create an
a.out executable - your script to create one case-in-point.
