Install libc5-dev package (assuming debian dist) and you should have the
standard C header files and libraries.

Note however that you may need other packages as well. In fact you should
install all the devel packages if you :-
  1. plan to compile more than just hello.c
  2. want to compile the kernel
  3. plan to debug your programs.
  4. have the hard disk space
  5. want to avoid future compiling problems

If you don't have the disk space then goto
http://www.debian.org/FTP/devel.html and sift out what you need.
