For Android, it's the same? If your device is running some old Android, like the 2.x versions, chances are this is because it can't or won't be upgraded, ever, and the solution is to get a new device, which comes with Android 4.x, which I believe has ECDH. I don't know about general 'legacy embedded devices', but can you give an example of one such device which does not support ECDH, will not support ECDH, but is still being updated and for which the manufacturer has indicated they might add this extension? If there aren't any, I would oppose this RFC as a needless complication to the SSL protocol.
