This is exactly the reason, why you should use native packaging system - 
in our case rpm.
Where all this requirements (including gcc) are addressed.

I know that we do not have developers dependencies packaged yet (we just 
finished with run time). But you can help us.
You can package it and submit to Fedora for review. Or you can build it 
in our Koji and put in comps file in katello-server-devel group.
While the Fedora Review is long term goal, building in Koji is fast. And 
you should be able at the end to do:
  yum groupinstall 'Katello Server Development'
and have all developer dependencies installed.
