Packages adding -Werror by themselves are poorly designed. Contact

I pointed them to this (very informative) thread
In some (rare) cases, packages adding -Werror have --disable-werror option
or similar.
I also provided them a patch to add --disable-werrror
For packages which are based on autoconf only, patching Makefile.ins could
be a solution (the Makefile.ins are source files), in automake-based
packages, the appropriate files to patch would be the Makefile.am (The
Makefile.in's are generated).
Thanks. I actually patched Makefile.am for now in my package; they
will surely fix the (not harmful) warnings once they move to gcc 4.6
