This commit uses the portable POSIX solution for counting the size of the output library (.a), namely wc -c. The output is specifically produced in the successful "end of make" message. Alternatively, one can now explicitly "make codesize". We should specifically note that: code size will depend on target architecture (x86_64 has 8-byte pointers, for example) and does not account for the extraction of the various elf-objects. That is, this code currently gives an upper bound estimate of the size INCLUDING **ELF** metadata and symbols for each and every file in the archive. A release image would strip all this information.

@veorq this is a pretty minor change. If you like it, feel free to hit merge directly. I will seek to improve this, but this gives us an easy way to estimate the code size when talking to customers. |
