Bitbake 1.28 was included in Yocto 2.0 which is four releases (or two
years) behind latest release: This means the recipe specific sysroots are
not something you need to care about (and also that you need to be careful
to not follow current documentation regarding sysroots).

This is probably something your recipe does (e.g. via inheriting
bin_package or maybe using do_configure[noexec] = "1". You'll have to
decide if the missing do_configure is intended and if it is, maybe look at
the dependency chain of the task that actually fails because sysroot isn't
populated.

I'd really like to suggest putting effort into fixing the legal issues that
prevent you from sharing your recipes... There may be people on this list
who can debug issues like this without seeing the recipe but I can
understand how it feels like a bad use of their time and I hope you can too.

Cheers,
