You can't.  GnuPG will understand old-style signatures but will not
generate them.

If you really must generate old signatures, there is a trick using
detached signatures and gpgsplit to assemble such a message by hand at
http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/pgp2x.html.  See "Signing and encrypting a
document for a PGP 2.x user".
