lib files compiler specific?
This perfectly demonstrates why file extensions are stupid, and why the world will be a better place when they finally die. In this case, both compilers use the same extension, but the formats are different; so, the extension fails to communicate the type accurately.
I remember seeing that argument in the late 1980's when EA and Commodore developed the Interchange File Format (IFF) file format. It never realy made it further than images and sound before it died along with Commodore :(

Not really.
The IFF format is pretty widespread even though developers usually
use custom file extensions. If you take a look at some game resource files you will notice that many use the IFF chunk format, (I use it, too) while the extension varies.
