FWIW, the Salmons on my Rivs squeal under hard braking when temps dip much below 50*F. At 60*F, no squeal. Single pivot calipers, but top end ones. And this phenomenon started only a year or 2 ago -- never saw it before. Sanding pads and cleaning rims don't stop it, tho' it mitigates it.
These same pads did squeal when new to these same rims (new pads, old rims; Sun M14A and ME14A respectively) but it took only a month or so for them to mate. Fronts -- both bikes have only front brakes.
