No, the compiler simply does not check whether the external assembler  
is already selected before writing that message:

   if (paratargetdbg in [dbg_dwarf2,dbg_dwarf3]) and
      (target_info.system = system_i386_win32) then
     begin
      Message(option_switch_bin_to_src_assembler);
      set_target_asm(target_info.assemextern);
     end;
