A `Word8` would be enough instead of 4 or 8 bytes for `CInt`.

That seems like a good idea! [...]

Looks OK, but let's use toEnum in peekElemOff:

  instance Storable Ordering where
    sizeOf _ = sizeOf (undefined :: CInt)
    alignment _ = alignment (undefined :: CInt)
    peekElemOff p i = toEnum . fromIntegral <$> peekElemOff (castPtr p :: Ptr CInt) i
    pokeElemOff p i = pokeElemOff (castPtr p :: Ptr CInt) i . fromIntegral . fromEnum

This is more symmetrical with pokeElemOff and less obfuscated. Note that the instance works for every Enum, so if there are more cases like Ordering, it might be worth to abstract that out.
