Good question... it looks like getElementPtr does allow indexing into
pointers [1]. It should be possible to either add a GetElementPtr
instance for Ptr or fall back to doing pointer math. This should at
least get you started:

bar :: CodeGenModule (Function (Int32 -> Ptr (Ptr Word8) -> IO Int32))
bar = createNamedFunction ExternalLinkage "main" $
  \ argc argv -> do
      entry <- newBasicBlock
      defineBasicBlock entry
      ret (0 :: Int32)
