Flexelint/PC-Lint can find these sometimes. Then there's libsafe
& propolice.

Which brings up a point...couldn't valgrind find these, too? If
there is a write to the return address on the stack, this could
be emitted as a warning. It is rare to find trampoline code in
applications. It is more common to find this as a programming
error.
