Such fallthrough into another function is typically the result
of __builtin_unreachable (), either explicit somewhere in the code,
or invoking undefined behavior somewhere and __builtin_unreachable ()
replacing the UB code.
I'd need preprocessed source + full gcc command line to tell more
(as long as it is not LTO, with LTO that isn't enough of course).
