Sounds like a compiler error?  Check man brandelf.
$ brandelf -l
known ELF types are: FreeBSD(9) Linux(3) Solaris(6) SVR4(0)

You could try to rebrand it to type 9.

as root:

brandelf -f 9 /usr/local/lib/RealPlayer/realplay.bin

But the syntax error, how would that get there?  Try to make reinstall  
after a make distclean if branding fails.
