This is Python.

This is shell.

You need to pick a language, or in the case of an :append use the same language as the function you’re appending.

do_populate_sysroot() is python, so you need to use python.

Feels like a better fix would be to actually fix the bug in the SYSROOT_DIRS handling instead of trying to work around it.
