Good point.  According to the manpage it would work,
but I've never tried it myself.  (I'm rather careful
with the qemu manpage because it also contains a few
things that only work on Linux.)

For loader work (i.e. non-kernel), the good old
printf debugging was sufficient for me so far.  :)

(Or maybe I was just lucky that my bugs were easy
enough to fix, so that I didn't need other debugging
facilities.  I'll certainly keep qemu -s in mind.)

Best regards
