I wouldn't do it myself because of the temperature difference between the exterior and interior surfaces causing condensation. Not to say that if it were sealed with drylock or some other product it wouldn't work but I would never do it myself. It's a lot easier to attach furring strips than it is to replace drywall when it gets wet.
I've done it a couple of times when an exterior brick wall became an interior drywall wall. My drywall guy swore that the way that they always did it was to use DW mud as an adhesive, and seven years later, it's still tight.
