well, I have no experiance with fedora, but you should look after
package with name similar to gdal-dev or libgdal-dev, which will contain
the file called gdal-config

if you need r.terraflow, you will have to add option --with-cxx to
configure script

NOTE: I would say, gdal-config will probably *not* be last file/package
you will be searching for. You are trying to install something from
source code and you will need lot of *-dev* packages which will most
probably not be in you system.

Jachym

P.S. You should be seeking for something like
gdal-devel-1.3.1-3.i586.rpm
