Are you sure these weren't crt0.S (capital "S")?  I've never used it, 
but I remembered seeing the following in the gcc man page:

      .s    Assembler source; assemble
      .S    Assembler source; preprocess, assemble

So apparently .S files will be run through the preprocessor first, 
whereas .s files will go straight to GAS.

Don't know if this helps.
