[You mean SIZEOF(.text) not SIZE(.text)...]

This does not sound correct.  SIZEOF (.text) should return the size of 
the entire .text section, including any input sections that have been 
assigned there by the linker even though they were not mentioned in the 
linker script.  If you have a situation where the linker is not 
evaluating SIZEOF correctly then please report it - it is a bug.

Cheers
