Warnings: Native VS Byte Compiler

Warnings: Native VS Byte Compiler

[T.V Raman]

I notice in the *warnings* buffer after starting with native-comp
enabled:

Warnings that  dont show up when using byte compilation   examples
include constructor functions generated by cl-defstruct for instance.

Would be good to make spurious warnings go away so one can focus on
the real ones; native compilation may well be catching things that are
not always defined at the right time and fixing those may well be
benefitial from a package-author standpoint.

This is a known issue.

They aren't spurious warnings, they are real warnings about real
problems in our Lisp code.  It's just that native compilation catches
more of them.  We should fix all of them.  So please report each such
warning as a bug.
