not likely - Sailfish uses Dalvik (emulator for android apps) and has
integrated it in their licensed products, so Dalvik is OEM license bound
(thanks to google licensing model I guess)

no need to compile as you have

[DIR]   binary-armel/   05-Nov-2016 23:37       -        
http://mirror.ntmm.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian/dists/squeeze/main/

if you can run debian or one of the supported platforms on it, you just add
trinity to your source.list and install TDE (follow the installation notes
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Category:Documentation#Installation)
