--without-root-access clarification

Hello,

I am going to install net-snmp agent and I prefer to run it with -u 
option to avoid running it as root. I see this option for configure script:
  --without-root-access           The snmpd agent won't require root 
access to
                                  run it.  The information it returns in the
                                  mib-II tree may not be correct, however.

Do I need to compile the agent with --without-root-access if I will run 
it with -u option? It seems that I do not, but I am not sure if the 
information it returns will be correct.
What exactly may not be correct if I compile agent with 
--without-root-access?

Thanks.

Juraj
