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.

* nm.c (sort_symbols_by_size): Don't read symbol size if symbol
is synthetic.
