all the ones I've heard of do. Wikipedia says " In Unix-like operating
systems using ELF, dynamically-loaded shared libraries can be identified by
the filename suffix .so (shared object)." Solaris also uses this extension
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/html/816-5165/ld.so.1-1.html. There is
also this page which says that "In most modern Unix-like systems [...] the
filenames always start with lib, and end with .a
(archive<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar_%28file_format%29>,
static library) or .so (shared object, dynamically linked library)".
