Actually, WinAUE seems to assert for 68000:
----
Building CPU, 44316 opcodes (0 1 1)
CPU=68000, FPU=0, MMU(040)=0, JIT=0.
hatari: /home/eero/work/hatari/src/cycInt.c:378: 
CycInt_AddRelativeInterruptWithOffset: Assertion `CycleTime >= 0' failed.
----

Unless one explicitly sets bCompatibleCpu=FALSE / --compatible no
before starting Hatari.

It needing different value for different CPU types even to start,
is really problematic because config file will always override built-in
default (which can change based on machine type).
