Subject: 26.0.50.1; Requiring uncompiled eieio issues obsoletion warnings

I'm currently trying to fix compiler warnings during the CEDET compile
in Emacs master, but there's one annoying problem I'm unsure how to
fix. Whenever a file does (require 'eieio), and EIEIO is not yet
byte-compiled, those two warnings are issued:

../../emacs-lisp/eieio.el: ‘eieio-object-name-string’ is an obsolete generic function (as of 25.1); use ‘eieio-named’ instead.
../../emacs-lisp/eieio.el: ‘destructor’ is an obsolete generic function (as of 26.1).

Since EIEIO is compiled pretty late, one is flooded with these warnings
when compiling Emacs master. The warnings seems to come from the
cl-defgeneric for `eieio-object-name-string' and `destructor'. How can
this be dealt with?
