No, the build tools don't require them; they respect '-o' and related
flags. IOP Libraries shipped with the Sony dev kit have those
extensions, but that's different, and not a problem because they're
specified in a variable assignment; they're not targets.

I think we can probably just go with .a for our locally-built IOP libs.

Thanks.
