You should be able to just use the GlobalValue/GlobalVariable without
messing around with GetElementPtr (it'll already have type i32* or
whatever).

If you write "GV = Module->getOrCreateGlobal("whatever", MyType)" then
G will actually already have type "MyType *" as it were, and you
access the actual value by just loading and storing to GV. In your
case it should be directly usable in the CreateCall function.
