I doubt very much that the actual members of the archive file are
32-bit.  The symbol table of the archive might be, whatever that means.
Don't let the 'file' command scare you.

I suggest that you try linking to that archive using a 64-bit compile
command.  It will fail if members are 32-bit.

If you want to be sure, use the 'ar' command to extract some random
object and perform the 'file' command on that.
