No it does not.  It is not a OpenStep function but a objC
runtime function.  That said, the GNU ObjC runtime does
have an equivalent, called:

sel_get_uid ()

(However I do not have the documentation at hand to 
check if it is really equivalent, but the name suggests so
and the Apple and GNU runtime are similar)

That said,  why do you use the runtime functions at all?
Most things can be done with the OpenStep functions

NSStringFromSelector ()
NSSelectorFromString ()


which are portable and easier to work with.
