It seems that you don't have the headers package installed for your 
custom kernel: 4.9.2-1custom01-686-pae

Bug#854840: sl-modem-dkms FTBFS at kernel version 4.9

[Stephen Powell]

I just tried building a custom kernel using "make deb-pkg" instead of 
kernel-package
(make-kpkg), but results are the same.  So this is not a bug in kernel-package.

Bug#854840: sl-modem-dkms FTBFS at kernel version 4.9

[Stephen Powell]

Package: sl-modem-dkms
Version: 2.9.11~20110321-12
Severity: normal

sl-modem-dkms fails to build from source with a custom kernel at version 4.9.
The build procedure followed is documented at
http://www.stevesdebianstuff.org/Kernel.htm#Example2, except that the kernel
source package used is linux-source-4.9 instead of linux-source-3.16.  Also,
linux-kbuild-4.9 is manually installed instead of linux-kbuild-3.16.  Other
changes to the procedure are made based on package versions, of course.
