For an exact answer you should tell us at least where line 87 is, but I
think
it is the above line. In this line gcc sees that if the condition
'(!matrix)' is true the operator does not return a value. 

Probably the function 'fail(...)' does not return, but gcc does not know
this. To tell gcc, that the function 'fail' does not return you should
declare it with the 'noreturn' attribute:

void __attribute__((noreturn)) fail(char *);
