Did you already inform the author of PolarSSL about this prob? I
think that the right long term fix would be that PolarSSL learns
this 'unknown sig alg', or?

I think the PolarSSL maintainer (Paul Bakker) was subscribed to this
list so maybe he will notice this thread. Since polarssl is intended
to be a very small ssl implementation, and it already handles 139 out
of the 140 certs in the bundle, I'm not sure the extra weight would
be worth it. But I really don't know how popular the
ecdsa-with-SHA384 algorithm is in the wild, or how much effort it
would be to implement, so if nobody responds here within a few days I
will pass the info on to the polarssl mailing list.

ECDSA signatures are indeed not supported at this moment in PolarSSL. Most likely they will be in the 'near' future. But no specific timeline has been made yet. ECDSA will be 'optional' to conserve on space when required.

Best regards,
Paul
