wooops! actually after install the information is present into the file 
$prefix/lib/libgdal.la. unfortunatly it is not easily parsed if you happen to 
build gdal against other libtool libraries:

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libodbc.la /usr/lib/libltdl.la -lxerces-c -lmfhdf 
-ldf -lgif /usr/lib /libjpeg.la -lpng -lnetcdf -lcfitsio -lz -lpthread -ldl 
-L/usr/lib -lpq'

i added a --dep-libs option to gdal-config:
$ gdal-config --dep-libs
-lodbc -lxerces-c -lmfhdf -ldf -lgif -ljpeg -lpng -lnetcdf -lcfitsio -lz 
-lpthread -lm -ldl -L/usr/lib -lpq

cheers,
alessandro
