Function call difference between cygwin and Windows

If a function calls both cygwin and Windows functions the binary creates
extra subroutine (in assembly) for cygwin ones. Example:
* Windows function:
call cs:CreatePipe
* cygwin function:
call ioctl
ioctl proc near
jmp cs:__imp_ioctl
endp
The binary is statically compiled. Why there are extra subroutines? Is this
"by-design"? Or am I missing something?
