The documentation was updated a while ago.  It now says:

   Sort symbols by size.  The size is computed as the difference
   between the value of the symbol and the value of the symbol with
   the next higher value.  If the 'bsd' output format is used the size
   of the symbol is printed, rather than the value, and '-S' must be
   used in order both size and value to be printed.
