To give more information on what Aaron said:

You'll have to read the information Branden Robinson posted here not too
long ago. The short of it is, use sdl-config --libs, unless you're
creating a library; in that case, use sdl-config --library-libs.

So, your gcc line would become

gcc hello.c -o hello `sdl-config --libs` `sdl-config --cflags`

(most likely).
