The Non-GCC header message looks crucial. It means that xtract doesn't
recognise /usr/src/linux-1.3.59/vmlinux as an a.out executable. Would
I be right in thinking that you've installed ELF? You've got to use
the a.out compiler with the kernel (As far as I know.). If not then it
will be useful to see the output of
file /usr/src/linux-1.3.59/vmlinux'
and the file sizes of vmlinux and System.map.
