Yes, the 386 was the first IA-32 processor.  Later they added a few
more instructions (IIRC BSWAP in the 486, CMOVcc in the P6 (Pentium
Pro, Pentium II ff.)), and some other features such as PAE (P6), but
if we contrast it with AMD64 and the AMD64 ABI x32, it's still in the
IA-32 category.  To differentiate between the minor variants, the
Linux kernel and Linux distributions use i386, i586, i686.  My guess
is that the differences they care about is mainly kernel-mode features
like page table capabilities, but googling for that did not bring up
anything enlightening.
