Ah, true.
Though you'd be limited to analyzing the assembly text instead of a
binary. And RE typically involves tools that work on binaries rather
than pre-compilation assembly in a text file.
Unless there's some way to convert this assembly into a working
stand-alone .o/.obj file which could be analyzed with typical reverse
engineering tools, then for the purposes of learning how to reverse
engineer binaries, I'd stick to full binaries. With debug info as
training wheels to start off with.
Raffaele Sena:
Yes, but there are tools to access the object files. I.e. you can do "go
tool objdump module.a" and get the assembly for your module.

Interesting proposition, though from what I can tell, you're just going
to end up with goobj files, a somewhat obscure internal format of the
compiler, rather than a more typical object file format.
