convert a static library to a dynamic one?

[Mark Brethen]

The following line worked,

system -W ${worksrcpath}_SHARED \
            "ld -dynamic -dylib -force_load spooles.a -r -x -o libspooles.1.dylib -install_name ${prefix}/lib/libspooles.1.dylib”

There was a warning in the main.log:

:debug:build system -W /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_marbre_ports_math_spooles/spooles/work/spooles.2.2_SHARED: ld -dynamic -dylib -force_load spooles.a -r -x -o libspooles.1.dylib -install_name /opt/local/lib/libspooles.1.dylib
:info:build ld: warning: -arch not specified

So I specified -arch ${os.arch} then it warned about spooles.a being i386, not x86_64. Why am I getting the warning?
