It doesn't.
There are two (maybe three) places that I know do this and -Wcast-qual is
removed from the CFLAGS used for those files.

I just compiled against EPEL-5 and the failure I get is

DEBUG: xml.c: In function 'string2xml':
DEBUG: xml.c:490: warning: argument 2 of 'xmlSetGenericErrorFunc' might be a
candidate for a format attribute
DEBUG: xml.c: In function 'filename2xml':
DEBUG: xml.c:626: warning: argument 2 of 'xmlSetGenericErrorFunc' might be a
candidate for a format attribute

Which is coming from -Wmissing-format-attribute - stupid option which I've
now disabled.
Once I did that, it built just fine with -Werror

Possibly something from your machine?
It builds fine in a clean chroot.

You could also use the packages from:
