Hi Cynthia,

   I did actually take a look at this particular patch - to enhance the 
size program.  But I did not like it.  What I found worrying was the 
fact that it was adding a lot of AVR specific code to what is currently 
a very generic program.  The patch did not explain why this code is 
needed, nor why the current output from the size program is insufficient.

   Without context, I cannot be sure, but I suspect that the size 
program is not the right place for this sort of enhancement.  perhaps 
readelf or an AVR specific tool would be more appropriate.

Cheers
   Nick
