Wrong. It means an empty string should be appended to the list of
default optio.s (at least that's what it means for libstdc++ tests,
where the defaults come from scripts/testsuite_flags)

Then maybe it should use { dg-options "-O0" }

That's not a problem, the last -On option overrides any earlier ones.
