It's not a "convention" per se.  Instead, it gives the correct
hint to the compiler.  From gcc.info:

: `FILE.s'
:      Assembler code.
: 
: `FILE.S'
:      Assembler code which must be preprocessed.
: 
: `-x c'
: `-x c++'
: `-x objective-c'
: `-x assembler-with-cpp'
:      Specify the source language: C, C++, Objective-C, or assembly.
:      This has nothing to do with standards conformance or extensions;
:      it merely selects which base syntax to expect.  If you give none
:      of these options, cpp will deduce the language from the extension
:      of the source file: `.c', `.cc', `.m', or `.S'.  Some other common
:      extensions for C++ and assembly are also recognized.  If cpp does
:      not recognize the extension, it will treat the file as C; this is
:      the most generic mode.
