Hmm, I've never heard of that tradition! And:

     cc foo.c -c -fPIC

generates foo.o, not foo.os (on Ubuntu).

I would've thought it was .so, not .os. Perhaps a typo on the part of
the OP?

Not for the object file coming out of the compiler.  Shared libraries are
produced by the librarian 
(ld, link, etc).

I haven't come across that either. Maybe some build system (or 
helper program like libtool) does/did this under the hood?

Instead of .os you perhaps meant to write .so, which would
be the extension for a Linux shared object file (and thus PIC)?
