I would recommend using "-o" option to specify the name of the executable,
so for example,
(a) if you have a makefile that only completed half of it's tasks, you could continue where you left off without wondering what a.out referred to
(b) if you are creating a shared library, the library often carries and internal representation of it's name, in ELF terms, the SO_NAME field, if the -soname field is not specified it is derived from the output file name, so the shared library may think it's supposed to be "a.out".
(c) in a Makefile, this can be standardised as "-o $@"

deb-shlibs(5) dpkg suite deb-shlibs(5)
NAME
deb-shlibs - Debian shared library information file
DESCRIPTION
shlibs files map shared library names and versions (sonames) to dependencies suitable for a package control file. There is one entry per
line. Blank lines are not allowed. Lines beginning with an # character are considered commentary, and are ignored. All other lines must
have the format
[type:] library version dependencies
The library and version fields are whitespace-delimited, but the dependencies field extends to the end of the line. The type field is
optional and normally not needed.
The dependencies field has the same syntax as the Depends field in a binary control file, see deb-control(5).
EXAMPLES
The shlibs file for a typical library package, named libcrunch1, that provides one library whose soname is libcrunch.so.1, might read
libcrunch 1 libcrunch1 (>= 1.2-1)
The dependencies must mention the most recent version of the package that added new symbols to the library: in the above example, new
symbols were added to version 1.2 of libcrunch. This is not the only reason the dependencies might need to be tightened.

deb-control(5), dpkg-shlibdeps(1), deb-symbols(5).
