The libre kernel is a 100% free fork of the generic Linux kernel that
includes nonfree binary blobs, whereas Trisquel is based on Ubuntu which uses
a modified version of the kernel. Ubuntu is basically Debian with a massive
patch and a host of different dependencies, so simply using a generic libre
kernel with Trisquel will not work. So you shouldn't compile it unless you
know what you're doing. But if you DO happen to know what you are doing, then
more power to you, as you will be able to experience the bleeding edge before
the rest of us do.
But no, any libre kernels which get released (see
http://www.fsfla.org/~lxoliva/fsfla/linux-libre/releases/) have already been
de-blobbed and are totally free software.
