I  think you  are  static linking  thats  why.  its a  choice  if you  want
to dynamically link  the  library in which case it would  have  stubs  which
does the getprocaddress  internally at runtime  while  the actual code
resides in the dll and hence  your  executeable code  would  become small in
size.
