 A dummy "break" is the usual solution though.  I don't think GCC ever 
complains if it sees it unreachable after a "return" -- in a sense it is 
just as unreachable as this null instruction is.
I wasn't overly picky.  Whatever gets the stuff to build correctly.  I'm
doing one final round of test builds over all -stable branches before
dropping most of them like radioctive rocks.  But more on that later.
 Yeah, sure -- I just noted this is not breaking a new ground really.  
There was a time GCC used to support genuinely empty switch cases and that 
was removed at one point for better ISO C compliance.  There was a rush 
fixing code all over the place at that point, including some "proper" GNU 
software such as I reckon bison, and the common approach taken was that I 
referred to.
