Fix calculation of synthetic symbol sizes (ppc64)
The attached patch fixes a problem where nm displays bogus information for synthetic symbol sizes when --size-sort is used. This happens because the synthetic symbols (dot symbols for ppc64) are generated based on their non-dot symbols. The generation process doesn't copy over the ELF-specific bits of the regular non-dot symbols. When --size-sort is used, the code attempts to access the symbol size from the ELF-specific bits and ends up reading gargabe, causing the size to be displayed incorrectly. With the patch, i can see dot and non-dot symbols having the same size with --size-sort. This doesn't fix the fact that we don't display size information for synthetic symbols without --size-sort, which i may address in the future. binutils/ChangeLog: 2016-12-01 Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com> * nm.c (sort_symbols_by_size): Don't read symbol size if symbol is synthetic.
