possibly the executables are not portable across different distro's ..
Check what the file / odump / strings commands says about the file ..
Check out the type of the file .. can write a small C proggy for that ..
Check for the parameter in the file descriptor header .. there is a class
for that ..
A rebuild could help ..

Sandesh
