You forgot the backticks.  sdl-config is a shell script that spits out 
the compilation and linker flags used when SDL was compiled.  What you 
should be typing is something like:
gcc -o test test.c `sdl-config --cflags --libs`

However, in my experience, Xcode or Project Builder would make your 
life a whole lot easier than doing this crap by hand or with Makefiles.
