Yeah, it did. And with new version, I was getting almost the same
behavior, until I remembered everything I tried with it previously. The
problems is that we have labels like '32bit' and '64bit', i.e. starting
with a digit. And label expression like 'ec2 && 64bit' doesn't work
(job with it hangs and doesn't start any instance), instead it should
be 'ec2 && "64bit"'.

Got to playing with it only today. Seems to do well, can be poked at
https://ec2-107-20-68-191.compute-1.amazonaws.com/jenkins/ . Going to
watch it for few days more, and schedule android-build upgrade to
Monday.
