[PATCH 2/2] binutils: Add new GNU format mode to `size` utility

I doubt if there will be any clamouring for the feature, so I would not
worry about it for now.  It was just an idea that occurred to me whilst
reading your patch.

Not at the moment, but give me a hour or two and I will have the feature added...

Of course.  I have no objection to the size patch at all, although I am
wondering if there will be any push-back on using the word "gnu" as the
new style specifier.  But assuming that noone has any complaints I plan 
to review the patch officially next week.

Cheers
