gcore is on more platforms, at least also on Solaris. This tool, though, seems to be able to do a lot more like wait until some basic kinds of conditions are met before dumping core. Given that gcore on Linux is really using gdb, this is probably also pretty easy to do in gdb -- but it's not done, so this tool adds value to the ecosystem. Just not as much value is added to the Linux ecosystem by this tool as is added to the Windows ecosystem by its Windows port.
