GCC creates trampolines only when it needs the address of the nested function, which it does not in this case (formally it does but not really). Also new version can place the trampoline on the heap (-ftrampline-impl=heap) and then you also need no executable stack. I wide pointer would be better though.

Wouldn't you need an executable heap, though?
(That's not as outlandish, because eg a JIT would need that to. But most straightforward C programs don't need to create any executable memory contents at runtime.)
It does use executable heap space, but I think it uses specific pages which might also be pre-initialized, but I need to check how they implemented it.
