You need to re-compile the corresponding files ("make bootstrap" should
work for packages that are bundled with Emacs, for example).

I introduced eieio-constructor by mistake a few weeks ago and found
a better way to make `constructor' obsolete, so that's the reason.
I don't think it's worth keeping an `eieio-constructor' just to cater to
the few unlucky users who recompiled their package with an Emacs from
"master" build during those few weeks.
