Does the Borland compiler not have a utility similar to 'size' which
can give you this information ?

The GNU binutils do not support the STMicroelectronics ST7 part, so
you will not be able to use them to help you examine the object files.

No - but they will only accept a object files for targets for which
support has been written.  This is a wide range of processors, but
unfortunately the ST7 is not one of them.
