What exactly makes you think it isn't completing? Warning's are not 
errors and the below very much looks like it did complete succesfully 
despite the warnings..

eg, to pick one:

compiles..

Who knows? something to do with module versioning?

and successfully finished, you should have a bunch of modules, 
filenames ending in .ko in your /home/cian/wireless/ieee80211-1.0.3 
directory.
