What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.17.5 windows/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What did you do?

I'm trying to get the size of one WebAssembly file, using cmd/nm, as such:

GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go build -o wasm.wasm .
go tool nm -size wasm.wasm

I also tried: GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go tool nm -size wasm.wasm.

What did you expect to see?

Since Golang is able to build for WebAssembly, I expect that nm to read such file. I expect that same behavior of Windows executables, such as go tool nm -size windows.exe.

What did you see instead?

Current, WebAssembly is "unrecognized", it returns:

open wasm.wasm: unrecognized object file

cmd/nm is for Go archives/object files, and executables. I believe GOARCH=wasm just emits wasm bytecode, which is possibly out of scope for Go's nm command. It should be analyzed with wasm-specific tools.
