I had the same error some time ago. The reason was that pcmcia needed 
some features from 2.3.x-Kernelseries (like wait_queue), not
available in kernel < 2.2.18. So they put this stuff in k_compat.h

Hower, since kernel 2.2.18pre21 this stuff was also available 
in the 2.2.x-series. So, either you edit k_compat.h or
fetch some new pcmcia-source which already has this corrected.
