Not that easy:
bash-3.2$ clisp --axiomsys-initfile
GNU CLISP: invalid argument: '--axiomsys-initfile'
GNU CLISP: use '-h' for help
With clisp '-- --axiomsys-initfile' works, but I need to make
sure that there are no unexpected interactions with other Lisps.

Yes, we can pass arguments via environment. I am looking at
command line in case somebody wants to start AXIOMsys directly
and does not want to mess with environment. To say the truth
since passing arguments via environment works fine I cosidered
command line of very low priority. But apparently command
line is first thing that somebody new to FriCAS wants to
use so it would be good to have something working.
