I think it is supposed to be "constraint". This error is already
present in the first revision of the file. I have installed this patch
in trunk as obvious. Thanks for the report.

When matching patterns, this is equivalent to
@smallexample
-(match_operand:@var{m} @var{n} "scratch_operand" @var{pred})
+(match_operand:@var{m} @var{n} "scratch_operand" @var{constraint})
@end smallexample
but, when generating RTL, it produces a (@code{scratch}:@var{m})
