Oh sorry HJ I just pushed the patch below as obvious because I couldn't
build gprofng with GCC 6.  Didnt see your patch here which is better.

    gprofng: avoid using `fallthrough' attributes
    
    gprofng didn't build with gcc 6.3 due to the usage of __attribute__
    ((fallthrough)).  This patch uses /* FALLTHROUGH */ instead.
