Thanks for the report.  However, you've reached the GNU Coreutils
mailing list, and not a generic support list for Linux questions, so I'm
afraid we won't have the best answers for you here.

$ file mmencode
mmencode: PA-RISC2.0 shared executable dynamically linked - not stripped

If you want to run a binary on a different platform, you have to
recompile it from source for that platform.  Do you have the source for
mmencode?  If not, then I don't see how you can expect to migrate to a
different operating system and hardware.  But again, that's outside the
scope of Coreutils.
