if sdl doesn’t support loading of rle encoded bmp’s then what the purpose of
SDL_RLEACCEL?

Those have nothing in common, except for a vaguely similar way of
storing data. For BMPs, RLE is used for data compression, whereas
SDL_RLEACCEL is a way of encoding surfaces for more efficient
software blitting with colorkey or alpha channel. The former is used
in files of a specific format, while the latter is used in memory and
has nothing to do with file formats.
