Errors in compat-wireless have nothing to do with ath9k.
linux-wireless at vger.kernel.org would be a better place to ask.

It's not even in the ath9k code.

If you are going to post error messages, it's better that you reproduce
them in POSIX locale.  This will make all error messages appear in
English and in ASCII encoding.  Set LC_ALL environment variable to "C"
temporarily.  In bash, it can be done on the command line before the
command:

LC_ALL=C make

As I understand, something is wrong on the line 1 in compat_autoconf.h.
I don't see anything wrong in that file.  Maybe it was incorrectly
generated by scripts/gen-compat-autoconf.sh on your system?
