Perhaps "build request" is a slightly better term. Just as HTTP requests
are to a HTTP daemon, build requests are to the Guix build
daemon.

Besides, I wouldn't translate "build message/request" literally to
Tamil. I might have to very subtly alter the meaning so that it sits
well with common comprehension of the language. There is some degree of
choice in the translation.
