Speaking for "American" English...

There isn't much ambiguity about how "libre" should be pronounced in American English.  We simply 
can't make the proper sound and the logical substitution is "bruh" or "breh" or similar. 

I say "similar" because we American's will pretty much say it as we please.  It's not something we 
stress about.  Fortunately we all pronounce "office" more or less the same.  :)

Cheers,
