The location is correct (line 12, where the default is), but GCC doesn't have
caret info, so the user probably got confused.

Clang gives:

/tmp/webcompile/_24877_0.c:12:13: error: label at end of compound statement:
expected statement
    default:
            ^
1 error generated.

which is the same message and the same location but the caret clarifies
everything.

I really don't see how the diagnostics could be improved short of implementing
caret diagnostics, which is already opened in another PR24985.
