You have a Mule build; it is probably trying to interpret the file as
a non-binary file. You might want to update XEmacs itself, as it
looks like your text-modes package (which contains hexl) is up to date.
Second, put a.out in the file-coding-system-alist as follows:
(add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("a\\.out" . binary))
