Maybe jsinterop.base library has some utility methods for cross casting.

Otherwise your options probably are (all untested):

1.) create a JavaScript file with a function that creates the array, then 
use JsInterop to call that function. 

2.) If you want it to be more generic and super unsafe you can probably 
also write something like:

In utils.js:

window.apputils.reinterpret = function(o) {
  return o;
}


In Java:

@JsMethod(namespace="apputils")
public static native <I, O> O reinterpret(I object);


byte[] bytes = reinterpret(new Int8Array(8));

This should allow you to reinterpret any java type without any cast 
checking by GWT.


3.) If you don't want to create an external JavaScript file then you 
probably have to try casting, e.g.

public byte[] createFastInt8(int size) {
 return (byte[]) (Object) new Int8Array(size);
};
