What I want libclang to do is to just reparse this source file and extract rest of information from a single precompiled header file in lieu of those header files.

Just turn on precompiled preambles in libclang. After the first reparse, libclang will automatically create a PCH file for the headers at the top of your source file and use it for subsequent reparses and code completions.
