I believe that these are the same as used by the machine description format.
If you look in UAPGCC on page 166 it says "The constraints use the same 
language used in the machine description..." with more detail on the page.

I'm guessing it is the same as crt0.o which is the start up file. You will
find
it with your C library (such as newlib) and is specific to each processor.
