Not to my knowledge.  Linux has systemtap instead: 
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/

Also, see here for a comparison:

Re: dtrace, used for dynamic tracing of Solaris real time kernel and software behavior, as Wikipedia states it has been ported to other unix-like systems, I wonder if would one of these systems be a Linux kernel? Dtrace looks very useful. I'll look for it and will check my local library for the suggested reading material.

Yes, dtrace, documentation, interface stability, quality of community and many things more. I've worked on both platforms a lot, and dtrace alone can save you days when debugging and analysing software, no matter if kernel or userspace.

Does the same C/C++ file compile well on both systems? If there are differences where can I find suggested reading material on the topic?

Which topic exactly? "Software development" is pretty wide a topic. But just to give you something: I recently bought "The Developer's Edge" and enjoyed it very much (see http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0595352510 ).
