The entries in Emakefile can be on the format {Module, Options} where
Options is a list of _compiler_ options. 'load' is not a compiler option
and is silently ignored. (Try calling compile:file(<module>, [load]) for
example).

However, 'load' is a _make_ option. That is, calling make:all([load])
will compile modules according to the Emakefile as well as load them.
