Hm?  In the default output of the GNU-based size(1) ("BSD style"), I get:

$ cc -c x.c
$ size x.o
text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
5       0       0       5       5       x.o

$ cc -fPIC -c x.c
$ size x.o
text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
5       0       0       5       5       x.o

"size -A" will report it per ELF section (System V style).
