Fairly sure. From Andreas Sterbenz's 2006 blog posting linked by Kostis in comment #2 and #3, programs wishing to use this (not new) provider should add it (ie "Security.insertProviderAt(nss, 1);" at runtime, and set up config file as described. So unless I have misunderstood completely, this is not a build or configure issue for IcedTea.

Furthermore,

http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/entry/elliptic_curve_cryptography_in_java

indicates that the use of ECC depends on NSS library specifically compiled with ECC support. All signs point to Fedora's NSS library not being compiled as such. Thus the recommendation to open Red Hat bug wrt the nss (really I should say nss-devel) package.

If you know something I don't (which is entirely likely), please reopen the report and add info as required.
