I've had Campy brakes that always squealed, and Mafacs that never did, so the idea that Mafac is somehow uniquely associated with squeal is bogus.

Good pads, clean rims and a little toe-in is usually tolerably quiet. One problem is if the toe-in goes away when you apply the brakes hard, from slop in the pivots and/or flex in the caliper. So brakes that are quiet at first start to howl when you apply them harder. This can be helped by brass bushings, a booster plate, brazed-on pivots, anything that helps keep the toe-in from going bye-bye.

Or, keep the squeal as a horn, can be helpful in traffic. (kidding, I almost always hate squeal and I don't miss it on brakes that don't)
