The '--target_arch' parameter does not work

[shibd]

building for macOS-arm64 but attempting to link with file built for macOS-x86_64

When I execute the following command:

npx node-pre-gyp configure --target_arch="x64"

You can see that the log output is still used arm64.

node-pre-gyp info it worked if it ends with ok
node-pre-gyp info using node-pre-gyp@1.0.9
node-pre-gyp info using node@18.9.1 | darwin | arm64
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok
gyp info using node-gyp@9.1.0
gyp info using node@18.9.1 | darwin | arm64
gyp info find Python using Python version 3.10.6 found at "/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.10/bin/python3.10"
gyp info spawn /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.10/bin/python3.10
gyp info spawn args [
gyp info spawn args   '/opt/homebrew/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/gyp_main.py',
gyp info spawn args   'binding.gyp',
gyp info spawn args   '-f',

Then it fails when I build:

npx node-pre-gyp build --target_arch=x64

../pkg/lib/libpulsarwithdeps.a is have, it is x86_64 static library that I compiled through it.

This is my binding.gyp configuration:
