Since all of them are doing the same thing I made these unused versions inline wrappers of getInt8PtrTy (which still is static).
And for the "To enforce that no two equal instances are created" part I think the important thing is that PointerType::get is static, or am I missing something?

@aeubanks : I'm not sure I understand how it is a problem that they aren't static?

(But I'm not sure we need to keep lots of deprecated methods. Not much difference really in getting a Wdeprecated warning or a failed compilation due to a missing function, at least not if building with Werror.)
