Is it feasible to utilize QEMU built-in gdbserver to debug a program running in the guest OS in QEMU?

I understand that QEMU built-in gdbserver can be used to debug kernel or bare-metal program. But I am curious that if it is possible to use QEMU built-in gdbserver to debug a program running in guest os in QEMU.

It is possible, but it won't be pleasant. Don't be surprised if execution bounces around as the kernel services external interrupts, and switches to other tasks. I'd recommend using a normal user-mode debugger inside the VM if possible.
