Yes. A .so file is a shared object; .sa is the stub that you link with for
such an object.
It's possible to support shared libraries with a.out but building them is a
pretty gruesome process involving the DLL tools. Glibc has no support for
this but the old libc4 does. I think the binutils linker has all the
necessary bits in to make it work.
