You're confusing two separate configure options.

Niels was talking about "--with-mibs",
   which is a client-side setting to configure the list of MIB files
   to load.   This is purely concerned with OID<->name translation,
   and has no effect on what information the agent provides.

You are talking about "--with-mib-modules",
   which is an agent-side setting to configure the list of MIB
   implementation modules (i.e. code files) to include in the agent.
   This *does* affect the information that the agent provides
   (as well as often adjusting the default MIB load list as well)

  "--with-mibs" takes the names of MIB modules (from the DEFINITION clause)
  "--with-mib-modules" takes the names of MIB code files (from 'mibgroup')

They are two completely different things.
Be careful not to get them confused.
