If an address space is used that's beyond the flash of the current device (number of 64 KiB segments as specified by -mn-flash=) a diagnostic complains and prints the currently specified numbers of flash segments, i.e. 64 KiB chunks, and used "KiB" as unit. Hence the avr_n_flash number of segments has to be multiplied by 64 in order to convert from number of segments to KiB.
Applied as obvious to trunk and gcc-5-branch (4.9 does not print the size).
