The workaround you have is just fine, and in fact you could instead
get away with removing the -Werror from the list in setup.py.  I've
always tried to eliminate as many warnings as possible from my code,
but maybe I should somehow remove the -Werror from the released
version.
Definitely. The next version of gcc might issue warnings for things you
don't imagine could cause a warning... I guess it is impossible to
write
C code that is and will be free of compiler warnings for all times, no
matter which compiler you are using, and no matter how closely you
follow the C standard to the letter. BTW, -Werror is gcc specific, what
if someone wants to use a different compiler?
I don't claim to be cross platform.  clang also recognises -Werror and the handful of slightly odd gcc extensions that I use.  If somewhat wants to use a different compiler and is successful then I'm happy to look at patches to the build process.

Can you suggest a clean mechanism for removing -Werror from the build?  My problem is that we're looking at a source release here made directly from the source tree, quite probably a tagged checkout from somewhere like https://github.com/Araneidae/cothread, and thus it's exactly the same code that I'm developing with.

I have to confess that I don't feel very confident at creating external releases.  At Diamond we have our own very strange internal build process and environment, and it gets quite difficult to make releases that work properly away from this environment.

Perhaps adding a "debug" or similar rule to the Makefile that uses the -Werror flag?
