It depends on where you're looking but I think that in most areas, the
building have been traced manually. For example almost all the
buildings at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.39399&lon=-1.57597&zoom=15&layers=M
have been traced by me from Bing aerial imagery. It can be tedious but
sometimes my OCD gets the better of me :)
