By ordinal, so the dll does not include the symbol name (in order to
keep the size small). Linker finds the ordinals from the .LIB file
that corresponds to the DLL.
(Someone who knows better might want to correct me if I'm wrong).

Heh, this somehow reminds me about the way shared libraries were
implemented on the Amiga.
No linking step; the function entry points were essentially a
big jump table in the library structure with every function having
a unique offset from the library's base.
Proved to make it very simple to patch OS functions too: just
patch the jump address in the jump table to jump to the patched
library function...
