I am bit sceptic about this for current consoles as they are IoE, which means that you must customize code for them strictly if you want to make anything. PC however is OoOE so its way easier to make programs as you can freely program the way you want to do without thinking does these logical paths kill this platform & so on. So its easier to make it automatically code for it too. :P

Since gcc compiles for all kinds of processors including POWER like the Xenos and Cell, I'm sure that would be taken into account. In-order vs. out-of-order isn't relevant at the software development level as it's implemented in hardwaee. But i don't expect this for consoles yet (I think you have to use their official devkit compiler anyway). I'm talking about this as a general advancement - one day all compilers will feature similar technology.
