This line should be used only if _LIBC is defined, so we can simplify it 
to just "#if __GNUC__ >= 7" and thus not worry about Clang.

I see that Gnulib wasn't consistent about this, so I installed the 
attached patch to Gnulib to fix the issue here and elsewhere. The idea 
is that the Gnulib regex_internal.h can be copied back to glibc, and 
that the other uses in Gnulib should be similar.

We could append something like the following to cdefs.h, and switch to 
__attribute_fallthrough__ for modules shared between the two systems. Is 
that something you'd like to pursue? (We should also sync Gnulib cdefs.h 
back to glibc of course.)

#if defined __STDC_VERSION__ && 201710L < __STDC_VERSION__
# define __attribute_fallthrough__ [[__fallthrough__]]
#elif __GNUC_PREREQ (7, 0) || __glibc_has_attribute (__fallthrough__)
# define __attribute_fallthrough__ __attribute__ ((__fallthrough__))
#else
# define __attribute_fallthrough__ ((void) 0)
#endif
