I had the same problem, and threw together a sed/python-script that
parses the entire code base for function definitions, and scans the
ELF disassembly for function sizes. Output is as follows: [view with
monospace font]

and so on.. Sizes are summed going up in the tree. This is an
unoptimized 386 Linux  build shown here. A problem is that the
low_level_input function is found in multiple files, and all of these
add to the total sum.

The sed script doesnt find the multi-line functions in lwip, so I have
hard-coded them to get the sum right.

I could post the scripts here if you like.
