And in fact it isn't.

This is ok. Look closely at the address after the callq. It's the
start address of the executable (0x1:00400000) plus an offset. If you
disassemble the executable you will find a jmp statement at this
address. This is the trampoline code which is automatically generated
for external references if they are not marked with dllimport.
The problem at this point is that I can't reproduce your issue with a
simple example. Here's the example:
==== SNIP ====
$ cat > lib.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
int
foo (int a)
{
printf ("a = %d\n", a);
return a;
}
EOF
$ cat > app.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
extern int foo (int);
int
main ()
{
int x = foo (42);
printf ("x = %d\n", x);
return 0;
}
EOF
$ gcc -g -shared -o lib.dll lib.c
$ gcc -g -o app app.c lib.dll
$ ./app
a = 42
x = 42
==== SNAP ====
Let's have a look into the executable:
$ objdump -d app.exe
[...]
00000001004010d0 <main>:
1004010d0: 55 push %rbp
1004010d1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
1004010d4: 48 83 ec 30 sub $0x30,%rsp
1004010d8: e8 93 00 00 00 callq 100401170 <__main>
1004010dd: b9 2a 00 00 00 mov $0x2a,%ecx
1004010e2: e8 59 06 00 00 callq 100401740 <foo>
1004010e7: 89 45 fc mov %eax,-0x4(%rbp)
[...]
So the call to foo is a call to address 1:00401740. Let's have
a look what is at that address:
0000000100401740 <foo>:
100401740: ff 25 1a 5a 00 00 jmpq *0x5a1a(%rip) # 100407160
<__imp_foo>
Address 100407160 is somewhere within the IAT which gets relocated
at runtime.
This is exactly as it's supposed to be.
Now, here's the question: Where is your problem different? What
exactly makes your code fail? Can you construct your problem from
my simple testcase, or can you construct an equally simple testcase
which fails?
