bzImage issue

Commands I ran:

sudo apt install libssl-dev
git clone --depth 1 -b v4.12.7 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git linux
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/linux-firmware.git

I ran this:
cp config-4.12.7 linux/.config
and I had to change it to this: (in linux directory) cp config-4.12.7 .config

then once I run this:
(cd linux && make bzImage)
it makes bzImage within these directories:
~/linux/arch/x86/boot

but once I run this:
go run .

I get this error:
package .: no Go files in /home/brandonjakobson/linux/arch/x86/boot
