Does Keil support library file with .a extension?
Any tool - not just Keil - will have a set of default file extensions (Please read the manual for details) - but that doesn't stop you from using anything else.
As already noted, the extension doesn't actually affect the content of the file.
Whether it's a good idea to break established idioms/conventions is another matter...
