The correct command is
R --arch x86_64 CMD INSTALL ...
(note that --arch is an argument of R *not* of INSTALL).

Yes, you replaced it.

You have to use --libs-only (see R-admin: 2.5 Sub-architectures).
First, do *not* use the directory of the package unless you cleaned it  
(important!!). Then you want something like
R --arch=i386 CMD INSTALL --libs-only randtoolbox
