>Description:
	

	since size was converted to the binutils version, the -t and -w
	switches are no longer supported.  while i didn't use -w, i do
	use -t from time to time.  there appears to be no way of having
	either -w or -t work with the new binutils without adding the
	support for these options.

>How-To-Repeat:

	wonder the total size of different sectinos of a library, run
	`size -t libxxx.a' and then yell loudly when it says:
		size: illegal option -- t

>Fix:
	
	support the -t (totals) and -w (warn about non-object archive
	memebrs) in size(1).
