The current runes assume that in the list of DWARF tags DW_AT_byte_size will
come after DW_AT_name, but that's not always the case.  On one of my builds
I've seen:

     <b618>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x3c45): 
exception_table_entry
     <b61c>   DW_AT_declaration : 1
  <1><b61c>: Abbrev Number: 5 (DW_TAG_const_type)
     <b61d>   DW_AT_type        : <0xb617>
  <1><b621>: Abbrev Number: 14 (DW_TAG_pointer_type)
     <b622>   DW_AT_byte_size   : 8

Instead of assuming such order, explicitly search for the DW_AT_byte_size tag
when a match in the DW_AT_name one is found.
