In that case, your OpenSSL library is broken, or was built without
EC support.  Perhaps you're running the wrong openssl(1) binary.

EC key creation is supported in 1.0.2:

    $ openssl version -a; openssl genpkey -out cakeyecc.pem -outform PEM -pass pass:rrrr -aes256 -algorithm ec -pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:prime256v1 -pkeyopt ec_param_enc:named_curve -text; cat cakeyecc.pem

The documentation of genpkey(1) was improved in 1.1.0, perhaps some
of the improvements should be backported. Pull requests welcome.
