I am not exactly an expert here, but .o is what GNU compilers (GNAT is the GNU Ada compiler) usually produce. .obj is usually produced by compilers on the Microsoft platform. MSVC isn't able to link .o files, but it is possible to use GNAT to link all your files to a DLL. The GNAT linker can read .o *and* .obj files. How to create DLLs with GNAT is described in the GNAT User's Guide.
