Hello Jeff, yes as i wrote in previous message i saw that there some
places uses system_path function and I just wanted to find correct way
to solve problem with system_path, in near time i'll check and adapt if
need all of this places for updated system_path.

Yes i launched unit tests and there are the same result as in origin/pu.

Ah, yes, just a type, will update it.

How to do it better? Update this patch, fix all callers which broken and
concat this patches to one or make separate patches?
Thanks all for feedback.
