linkage: Fix issue with missing symbol size

Occasionally, typically when a function doesn't end with 'ret', an
alias on that function will have 0 size.

The difference between what GCC generates and our linkage magic, is
that GCC doesn't appear to provide .size for the alias'ed symbol at
all. And indeed, removing this directive cures the issue.

Additionally, GCC also doesn't emit .type for alias symbols either, so
also omit that.
