OK, this is a bit of a weird thing for me to ask you to try but this page on emerge: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS says pretty clearly that "--load-average X.Y" should be a floating point number so try it with "--load-average 40.0", and further with and without the --jobs option. Note 2 things - this page doesn't say to use an "=" AND it was last edited on my birthday. It wasn't a good year for me. Possibly it wasn't a good year for this man page... ;-)
