There is no support for passing options to a test in the dg framework.
You would have to write your own Tcl code to do that.

Note that such tests are somewhat discouraged because not all remote
execution environments support passing command line arguments.  It's OK
to do it if the command line argument is optional or if the test can
never work on an embedded system anyhow.
