The SimplePass example is intended to be built out of tree, so I’ve no idea what happens if you try building it in tree.  I wouldn’t expect to see it in the opt --help output, because it doesn’t define its own command-line options, it just adds itself to the default optimiser pipeline (at the end, and even if you’re running at -O0).  You can see that it works by building it with its own CMake build system and then passing -Xclang -load -Xclang ./SimplePass.so to your clang command line.
