Or else four packages with static genericity.

package OpenGL.With_Shorts is
    function F1 (Param1 : Short, ...);
    function F2 (Param1 : Short)
    function F2 return Short;
    ...
end ...;

package OpenGL.With_Longs is
    function F1 (Param1 : Long, ...);
    function F2 (Param1 : Long)
    function F2 return Long;
    ...
end ...;

And so on.
