Careful perusal of the output of the build is necessary to see what libraries have been built, and which were skipped.

Linux, and most *nix flavours don't depend on the file suffix to determine what type of file it is, but generally look at the first few bytes of the file (if a text file starts with ``#!'' the rest of the line is taken to be the command to run the script. ...
