From the first method that invokes the method for which the trampoline 
was created.  It causes the JIT compilation of the called method, and
the replacement of the pointer to the trampoline so that it points to
the JIT-compiled code.

You'd have to change the trampoline asm code to make some difference,
but you don't really want to do it :-)

Where did you start `gmake'?  AFAIR, it's #included by some file
within kaffevm.
